Embedding linked files in PDF documents does not work

Unread post by Frank_Wibu »

Hello all :-)

Since I use Help+Manual version 8.2.0 update the PDF file links created in and supported by previous Help&Manual versions do not display any longer for the PDF output.

I tried both storing the file in the baggage folder and in an image folder (both included in the project search path).
Also I edited the "Configuration | Publishing Options | Adobe PDF | PDF Layout" section accordingly.
Strangely enough for the output types CHM and WebHelp the file link works as expected. It's the PDF output that troubles.

When opening the project Help+Manual version 7.5.1 Build 4710 everything works fine.

Any ideas out there? Help is very much appreciated.

Cheers
Frank

Hi Frank,

Please send a sample project with a couple of your embedded files to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) and we'll check it right away. Please note that issues like this always require checking the project, so it's generally much quicker to contact support directly. :)
Regards,
Tim (EC Software Documentation & User Support)
